Our Diagnostic Capabilities for Emergency Care

Accurate diagnosis is critical to the treatment of emergency medical conditions.

Some of the commonly employed investigations for emergency medicine include.

• X-Ray: An x-ray is a preliminary imaging methodology routinely employed to check for fractures, and damage to the internal anatomical structures.
• CT Scans & MRI: Advanced imaging techniques that give you a deeper and more detailed imaging of the internal organs and tissues.
• ECG: An ECG or an electrocardiogram is a diagnostic procedure that analyses the functioning of the heart by mapping the heart signals on a graph.
